Kama symbolizes aesthetic pleasure of the senses – touch, smell, flavor, vision and sound. Food is our most intimate connection to nature and a source of everlasting memories.
We bring the fresh, bold and authentic flavors of Indian cuisine made from scratch to La Grange and surrounding suburbs. Our menu highlights cuisine from various regions of India and its fusion with American favorites. We offer over 10 distinct sauces and chutneys made with our proprietary fresh ground spice blends and fresh ingredients all made from scratch. We use a charcoal Tandoori grill to cook all meats and bake fresh bread to order. Modern, vibrant, contemporary and chic are the words used to describe Kama’s dining room. A perfect place to bring friends and family, impress a date and out of town guest.

It was a warm evening but our water was warm & asked several times for cold water them received 3. The recommended cocktail was pretty but weak tasting at best. Server forgot about us for a while. The food was tasty but naan is very small portion. The mussels appetizer was exceptional.

We had a great experience there for a date night. The drinks were so different but super tasty. For appetizers we had the samosa, potatoes, and lamb chops. I could’ve eaten two orders of each! Such great flavors. I had the Kama maze vindaloo and I was pleased with how flavorful and balanced the spice was. Not just heat. The dessert bread budding was tasty but I would skip in the chocolate syrup. Service was excellent by Malak (not sure if I’m spelling correctly). Bussers clear dirty plates quickly which I appreciate. If you go, you have to try the lamb chops!

The quality on the brunch has definitely dropped and it surely does not deserve the rates being charged. The dishes seem to have been curated to Western tastes and lacked the originality that Kama was known for. The Rasmalai seemed like it was store purchased and defrosted couple of hours ago. The chai tasted like the tea leaves were reused multiple times and had a burnt taste to it. Definitely a thumbs down and will surely not be making any brunch trips in the future.

This a regular spot for the boyfriend and I. There's nothing on the menu that isn't amazing...the drinks are yummy and the curries are fantastic! Could go a little spicier, but honestly the chefs probably save me and spice accordingly.

We went for a family dinner after seeing the spring musical at Nazareth Academy. So, we were late getting to the restaurant and the kitchen was soon to close. Our server was undaunted, gracious and efficient. Our food came out quickly and it was fresh and flavorful. All in all, we had a wonderful time, topped off with some tasty cocktails for the adults. We had a terrific night out.

Food is high quality and very good. The service was a little slow, maybe understaffed. I highly recommend the lobster bisque and the chili potatoes, both are full of flavor, some heat and fantastic. The spice level on the Makhani chicken was not spicy enough even though I asked for spicy. Good samosas, great chutneys
